UMaine News reported on May 11 that Jean MacRae, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and Mitchell Center faculty fellow, was one of three UMaine faculty to receive Presidential Awards this spring.

Jean is part of the Mitchell Center’s Materials Management Team where she leads a project researching the risk of contaminants when recovering food waste from municipalities.

“All three Presidential Award winners are world-class teachers, mentors, researchers and engaged community members,” President Joan Ferrini-Mundy says. “Undergraduate and graduate students fortunate enough to learn from and collaborate with Sara, Jean and Bob gain the valuable experience that comes from being at a research university with this caliber of faculty.”

Congratulations to Jean on this well-deserved honor!
